Having been making music for 20 years (and still going!), it’s likely everyone’s heard a Röyksopp song at some point – I hear them in the background a lot on random BBC shows, usually ‘Eple’ haha 😀
‘Running to the Sea’ is a beautiful, mournful, slow song with a really simple melody – perfect for beginners 🙂
A G# A G# B-^C# A G#-A
I could hear them howling from afar
G# G# A B-^C# A G# A-G#-F#
I saw them rushing to your car ~
A G# A-G# B ^C# A-G# A
In a moment all went screaming wild
G#-G# A B-^C# A G# A-G#-F#
Until the darkness killed the light ~
A G#-A-G# B-^C# A G# A
I remember running to the sea
G# G#-A B-^C# A G# A-G#-F#
The burning houses and the trees
A G#-A-G# B-^C# A G# A
I remember running to the sea
G#-G# A B-^C# A G# A-G#-F#
Alone and blinded by the fear ~
B A B-A B A – B A ^C#
And the river flows beneath your skin
A B-A B-A B A-A-F#
Like savage horses kept within
A B A B-A B A ^C#
And all is wasted in the sand
G# G#-A B-^C# A G# A-G#-F#
Like breaking diamonds with your hand ~
A G#-A-G# B-^C# A G# A
I remember running to the sea
G#-A-G# B-^C# A G# A-G#-F#
Remember falling to my knees ~
A G#-A-G# B-^C# A G# A-B-A
I remember gliding off the shore
G#-G# A B ^C# A-G# A-G#-F#
Until I touched the ocean floor ~
B A B-A B A – B A ^C#
And the river flows beneath your skin
A B-A B-A B A-A-F#
Like savage horses kept within
A B A B-A B A ^C#
And all is wasted in the sand
G# G#-A B-^C# A G# A-G#-F#
Like breaking diamonds with your hand ~
A G# A-G# B B-B A A
And the river grows inside of me (x3)
A G# A-G# B ^C#-^C# ^C# ^C#
And the river grows inside of me
A G# A-G# B B-B A A
And the river grows inside of me…
